Enjoyed watching the instalment of the build, and it's coming along nicely. I've been looking at the model engineer beam engine, but I fear that it's too big for my lathe, so may have to look at a smaller beam engine design.
Jon, Thank you for your comment.
I have a Bengs beam engine that I'm going to build in the future and they are a lot smaller, the big difference between Bengs and Stuart is that Stuart has a lot more castings and Bengs are constructed more from bar stock and pre-milled prats (you don't need a large lathe or mill)
I haven't built a Bengs yet but there is a lot of samples on YouTube.
I put a link in the post.
All the best.
Gary
